Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Yeah, I don't know.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I don't have any wisdom to impart at this time, but I'm glad I'm still here and making it work.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

How many steps is that?

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So it's like a day at Disney World.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

You got to do what everyone suggested and what Underscore has done is, hey, you got two wrists.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I thought I was going to think it was on YouTube.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Everywhere you go, there I am, Casey.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Yeah, as I say at the top of the show, it's also kind of an excuse for me to try out my vibe-coded tier list app.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So if you want to see the first outing of that app, you can check it out.

There was one problem that happened immediately as soon as we started that I just could not believe but couldn't deal with in the moment, which was the stupid green pencil icon from Zoom.

overlaying on top of my beautiful clean app.

And I was hoping that it wouldn't appear in the screen capture, but it totally does.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Anyway, we have since we believe we have since solved that problem after finishing the episode, found the setting in Zoom.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

If you go to the Zoom website under settings and meetings, turn off the annotation feature, which is what that little pencil is for.

685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So hopefully next time it will not be there.

Also, people suggested a feature to be added to my tier list app that will show an enlarged version of the item we're talking about, which definitely helps when we're talking about something we want to look at, like a logo or an icon.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So I'll make sure I have that the next time we do a tier list, which may not be for a while because we've done a bunch of them recently.

People also suggested in my tale of woe about how I got these icons.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I didn't mention all of my tale of woe.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Part of it did involve writing various scripts and web scrapers to try to get icons from the new app store website, from the old iTunes URLs, from the app store API that's available.
